Introducing a New Series: ANALYZE TREK

The goal of the ANALYZE TREK series is to dive head-first into the Star Trek universe through an analytical lens. What that means is picking apart the themes and ideas presented in these classic episodes and applying them to our world today, applying context to them, or extrapolating deeper meanings. How that manifests depends on the theme, but generally (as Star Trek has always been a progressive, forward-thinking series) these posts look at the issues through a social justice mindset while incorporating philosophy, psychology, sociology, science, technology and probably (hopefully!) much, much more.

Who is doing this?

Mostly myself (Joe) as the primary author of this blog. I’ve written nearly all of the posts so far and will continue to keep writing. However, guests posts are not only welcomed but encouraged! If you have an episode you feel passionate about, or an idea you wish to explore, I’d love to feature your writing. ANALYZE TREK pieces from any other author will have the designation, [Guest Post], and I hope to feature several of them. If you’d like to contribute, feel free to reach out to me through email, or through The Continuing Voyage’s facebook or twitter pages.

Alright, now where do I actually read these?

Right here! As this series comes together, each piece will link back to this page, and below this, is a list – with links – to every post in the series, in order of publication:
